Proverbs 13:20 - He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Our modern day proverb states this same proverb, this way: "Birds of a feather flock together!" The thought, however, in Solomon's truth is not how the company of people gather, but on what happens in the gathering. Yes, like minds hang together. However, that truth isn't productive. The real question is, "What happens to us when we hang around with other people?" According to Solomon we tend to become like them. So, if you want to know what you will become look at your friends. It is interesting how many people will point out with their spouse the little things that other couples do or say, that annoy them. However, when you realize that truth you have to grasp what Solomon is saying ... we tend to mirror our friends. So, if you want to be wise and spiritual and faithful, don't go to the movies with the foolish and carnal and faithless! We can and should pick our friends wisely. Because, when we do ... we will be like them.
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
